Nub- Cammeroon wrapper

[geckoheart]

I hope the part they didn't roll tasted better

Picked up a few last week and smoked one on the drive home. This cigar was harsh fro the start to the "nub". Reminded me of the Perdomo's I used to smoke 5-6 years ago. Have one more and will try it in a few weeks. Hopefully it will be better.

hmmm i liked the Cameroon nub.
But to each his own.

What Perdomo's do you speak of. I used to buy a lot of Perdomo's stuff 5-6 years ago.

Now about that nub I will give the cameroon a try but I didn't particularly like the habano. So I think I'll order 2-3 of each to give them another fair eval.

The cameroon is better than the Habano in my opinion.

I had the connecticut one to give these a try and it was better than I expected. The shop owner said that was his favorite one. It wasn't too harsh, and plenty of flavor while being smooth. Really liked it.

I agree Joshua. The cam had more flavor. The habano seemed bland to me. Bought two samplers to see what all the hype was.

IMO The Connecticut is the better of the three.

I have trouble paying good money for a third of a cigar. But that is just me.

That's funny, but still a good point.

It does last a while, and true to the name I nubbed it. Cigar tasted pretty good down to the last bit. Just got a bit hot to hold at the end.

The second one I bought is a Connecticut. I'll give it a try tomorrow night on the ride home.

Cameroon = HARSH

You know this whole concept of "get the sweetness of the nub without smoking the whole cigar" just doesn't work out. Its like trying to bake the muffin top only when everyone knows you have to bake the whole muffin then "pop the top". Just my .02 cents...

added - after reading that last post I realize that my analogy doesn't make the best sense... buy you get it. You have to smoke the whole cigar to experience that "Damn, I don't want to put this nub down" effect.

What Perdomo's do you speak of. I used to buy a lot of Perdomo's stuff 5-6 years ago.

Anything that they had a JR's. They must have been bad enough that I can't recall the names of them, and neither JR's nor Perdomo have any of the old stuff listed on their sites. I did receive a Perdomo Sampler from C-bid this week.

I had my first the other day, it was not bad but it was just mild to me. I had it as my first cigar of the day before Lunch. It was ok for a first smoke mid day, but I do not think I will be picking more up, I have other milder smokes that i usu go for in the am.

Smoked the Connecticut on Thursday evening. No harshness. I liked better than the Camerroon, but not my cup of tea. Construction and burn were great but I guess does not match my flavor profile.
